Lycagon the Nightslayer

Lycagon the Nightslayer (夜襲のリュカオーン, Yashū no Ryukaōn) is an unique monster and one of The Seven Colossi.

Profile
Lycagon the Nightslayer is a large black wolf with some white lines under and above his eyes.

Lycagon has a taste for a strong foes, and doesn't matter if they are good or evil, wise or foolish. He places his marking on anyone who proves their worth to him. A sign of dominance over the victim, its scars belie the black wolf's looming, foreboding presence upon those weaker than him.

Lycagon's Marking
A curse applied to those who've stood their ground against the Nightslayer. Rather than prey to simply be devoured, those who bear this mark are seen by Lycagon as a potentially worthy foe.

Conditions
In order to receive Lycagon's Markings, there are certain conditions that needs to be met:
 * 1) The player must not receive damage for 5 minutes as vanguard class
 * 2) The player must not be killed by a normally insta-kill attack (except items/skills/magic)
 * 3) The player must land enough critical hits without taking damage

Effect
After receiving the marking, the player gains the following effects:
 * 1) On the place of the marking, the player is unable to equip anything over it
 * 2) Monsters whose level is lower than the player, will run from them
 * 3) NPCs gain special dialogues and stories, unlocked just for the marking recipients
 * 4) Resistance to other magic interference, making support/buff magic to not work on the player

The curse can only be lifted by the prayer of a Saint, or by defeating the creature that applied the curse.

Lycagon's Scar
The markings of Lycagon's curse are intensified for those who manage to triumph against the Nightslayer's alter ego. The strongest wolf acknowledges the bearer as not food, but a worthy opponent to be defeated personally.

Conditions

 * A player bearing Lycagon's Marking successfully defeats the Shadow Wolf clone of Lycagon

Effects
After receiving the Scar, the player gains the following effects: Unlike the Marking, the only way to dispel Lycagon's Scar is to defeat the monster that applied it.
 * 1) Player will be allowed to wear equipment anywhere a Scar exists, but that equipment will be permanently destroyed if it is worn for more than 180 consecutive seconds.
 * 2) Monsters at or above the player's level will actively seek them out for battle, while lower-level monsters will immediately flee.
 * 3) Curse effects, including miasma, have no effect on the Scar bearer.
 * 4) NPCs gain special dialogues and stories solely for the Scar bearer.
 * 5) Scar bearers cannot undergo class change

Unlocks
The bearer of Lycagon's Scar will gain the title "Piercing the Shadow Wolf", the special status "Guiding Light", and unlock the EX Unique Scenario "The Dark of Night Purged by the Light of Courage". The Guiding Light status will generate a flame at nighttime leading the scenario holder to Lycagon's location, provided the monster is within a certain range.
